September 30, 2021, was the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Ontario. This day of public commemoration honours the children who never returned home and the survivors of residential schools. Affected families and communities are also remembered as part of the reconciliation process.
Today, we shall recognize that every child matters.
Our office will be closed on September 30, 2025, so that we can educate ourselves about this day and how the history of mistreatment still continues to affect indigenous communities across Canada. More information about National Day for Truth and Reconciliation can be found here.
